Operational Excellence: Emergency Plan
Overview
Financing of the Emergency Plan
 The Ministry of National Infrastructures approved an
Emergency Plan to accelerate the development of the
generation segment
 Aggregate estimated cost: ¹NIS 9.2 billion
 The Emergency Plan scheduled for operation by 2013 is
intended to increase the Company’s generation capacity by
1,765 MW until 2013
 Account for a considerable delay in incorporation of
Independent Power Producers ("IPPs")
 NIS 3.6 billion is for the first phase² of Emergency Plan.
Financing the first phase:
 NIS 2 billion are collected via the electricity tariff , during the
years 2009-2010
 3NIS 0.9 billion (€ 185 million) of the aggregate estimated
cost will be financed by consortiums of banks’ loan.
 The outstanding investment will be financed by reducing or
postponing other investments
 NIS 5.6 billion is for the second phase of Emergency Plan.
Financing for the second phase should not be carried out by
IEC.
14
1. Including CCGT Alon Tavor 260 MW (2012) + 115 MW (2013).
2. The first phase is planned to be completed by the end of 2010.
3. Currency conversion based on the exchange rate of NIS 4.7575 = EUR1 as of June 30, 2010.
Fuel Diversification: From Coal to Natural Gas
 IEC uses natural gas as part of its fuel mix since February 2004
 The increased use of natural gas is driven by the need to
diversify IEC’s fuel mix, increase its generation capacity, as well
as to maintain a low cost structure and limited pollution level
 IEC plans to significantly increase its use of natural gas during
the coming years
 Recently a new natural gas reservoir with almost 200 BCM
(billion cubic meters) has been discovered off shore Israel
(Tamar).
 An additional natural gas reservoir has been discovered
recently off shore Israel (Leviathan) with potential of 400 to 500
BCM (probability of 50%).
 The Implications of the recent gas fields discoveries on IEC’s
generation and transmission segments are being studied.

Tariff Regulation Principles
The average price per KWh sold is 10 USD cents as of February
2010.
Key Elements of Tariff Basket of Costs
 Rates are set by the Electricity Authority based on IEC’s current
basket of costs structure together with a fair rate of return on capital
less an efficiency factor
Operation
20%
Fuels
46%
 Tariff is examined every two weeks by the PUA based on the
publication of fuel prices and CPI
.
 Current tariffs updated on the occurrence of the earliest of three
possible events:
• A change to the costs of at least 5.5%
• A change to the costs basket of at least 3.5% (provided that three
months have elapsed from the last update); and
• When six months have elapsed from the last update
 Amortization factors per Kwh sold representing the expected
efficiency and intended to reflect economies of scale at cumulative
annual rates.
16
Capital
13%
Others
6%
Depreciation
15%
 The basket of costs used to determine the Tariff include:
•
•
Fuel component – based on a cost pass-through basis
Financing component – including currency hedging
•
Operation and maintenance costs
Note: Tariff components for February 15, 2010
Source: IEC’s estimates.
Principles of the new tariff base for the generation segment for
2010-2014 - Fuel costs
Fuel mix
 To define the fuel basket , the PUA made the following assumptions:
 Forced unavailability of generation units and maintenance schedules
 Normative operation dates of the generation units
 Operation regime of the generation units
 The fuel basket will be retroactively updated on the annual update for the period from
January to December.

The hedged amount is approximately NIS 12.3 billion according to the determining
basket of April 2010. This amount will be linked to the USD and the Euro at 75% and
25% rates, respectively.
18
Tariff update
Current update
The current update of the tariff will be performed as follows:
 When the total cost per KWH sold changes by more than 5.5%.
 If three months has elapsed since the last update and the total cost changes by at least 3.5%.
 Six months after the last update.
Annual update
In April of each year, the PUA carries out an annual update of the various components of the
recognized costs:
 Financing rate of foreign capital
 Fuel mix.
 Compensation for delays in updating the tariff.
 Recognized assets
 Amount of the recognized capital for hedging.
19
Key Strategic Targets
 Supply of Electricity to the State of Israel
 Ensuring reliable supply of electricity to its consumers, while maintaining sufficient electricity reserve, longterm profitability and financial stability of the Company by implementing an $ 5.6 billion investment program
during 2011-2015
 Fuel Diversification
 Diversify fuel mix, while maintaining an efficient and effective cost structure while minimizing pollution levels
 Business growth drivers
 Leveraging the engineering and technological capabilities of the Company
 Entering business initiatives abroad
 Entering business initiatives in the field of renewable energy and other business developments (such as
Smart Grid)
20
Business growth drivers
The IEC will seek to expend its business operations and revenues via new business growth
drivers that will utilize IEC’s knowledge, expertise and innovations as follows:
 Technological Incubator
 The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) established an internal venture unit (“Technological Incubator”) to provide a framework of
investment and support services to develop, advance, and commercialize promising, innovative ideas.
 This unit will reach out to entrepreneurs, “innovators,” inventors, and others to submit ideas and proposals in energy field areas.
 The selected proposals will become very early stage business ventures operating within the Technological Incubator framework.
They will receive financial support, access to Israel’s largest team of experts, and business development assistance for a
predefined period of time in order to achieve commercial success.
 Cooperation with Projects Developers Abroad
 IEC is looking to expend it’s business by entering into partnerships
 The policy implementation includes:
– Integral assistance to IPPs
– Readiness for joint initiatives and investments
– Participation in renewable and energy efficiency projects
 Transmission Services
 IEC is to submit to the Ministry of Communications a request for license, that would enable it to provide transmission services,
optic access network (FTTH - fiber to the home), and mobile access network (RAN – radio (wireless) access network)
 The Ministry of Communication approved the pilot in which the IEC successfully connected 150 residential homes in city of Kiryat
Shmona by FTTH.
21
Potential Reorganization
 Negotiations are taking place between IEC Management, IEC Workers Union,
Israel Workers Union (Histadrut) and Government representatives.
 Negotiations are focused on two main issues:
 The reform of the Israeli Electricity Sector, i.e. IEC reorganization
 Increasing Company efficiency and management flexibility by implementing
the “Compass Plan” (“Matzpen”)
